Abstract
An integrated circuit provided here includes a N-bit flip-flop and a first clock cell. The N-bit flip-flop includes first cell of a first bit and a second cell of a second bit. An output signal from the first cell is inputted into the second cell in response to a first clock signal. The first and second cells have different widths and are arranged in a first row of multiple first cell rows and a first row of multiple second cell rows respectively. The first cell rows and the second cell rows have different row heights. The first clock cell outputs the first clock signal and is arranged in the first row of the second cell rows to abut the first cell.
